Faun is a handcrafted lounge chair designed for relaxed reading, inviting readers to recline into nature with its low profile and sweeping fabric seat.

With tools including a chop saw, band saw, handheld router, and orbital sander, smooth organic curves are shaped into Superior Alder with precision and elegance. A heavyweight cotton canvas is reinforced with webbing and stainless steel spur grommets and suspended between the stained Alder frames with nylon paracord.

The rich Alder and crisp canvas create a breathtaking lounge chair that ergonomically supports a relaxed reading posture and carries the enchanting spirit of the woodlands to any indoor or outdoor environment.
